An iPad-in-hand staged presentation of a new chamber musical.
November 19 to 25, 1731: seven days in seven scenes during which seven members of the Bach family collaborate to create the seven movements of Cantata 140.
A pivotal moment occurred to this star-crossed family. Bach had composed hundreds of cantatas in the 1720s - cycles of them - then went on to other things. Abruptly, in November 1731, he urgently rushed to compose a new cantata. Why? That mystery leads to worlds of revelations about the family. The perfect way to tell the story of that amazing week is with a musical.
